So basically what this game is is someone thinks up something in Pokemon that doesn't have a point or makes no sense, and the next person tries to find a good answer, and repeats the process. You can inculde your reasonings in parentheses. EXAMPLE:

WhyAmIAnExample: What is the point of giving electric types the ability Lightning Rod?

IdekWhy: Because Game Freak decided it would be a good idea to give electric types the immunity to themselves. What is the point of Phione not evolving into Manaphy?

And so on.

FIRST QUESTION:

What is the point of giving Rhydon and Rhyperior the ability Lightning Rod if they're already immune to electric type attacks? (They're both Ground/Rock typing)
